Eureka Valley

Eureka Valley, or “The Castro” as locals call it, is one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in San Francisco. This cozy neighborhood is marked by its storied past, a strong sense of community, and a diverse housing stock.

Bordered by Market Street, 22nd Street, Church Street, and Liberty Hill, the neighborhood is made up of small streets and hilly areas. Its main thoroughfare, Castro Street, is filled with hip restaurants and bars.

Eureka Valley and the rest of District 5 are considered to be one of the most luxurious and desirable districts in San Francisco. Low inventory and a surplus of qualified buyers make this district a competitive market.

The housing stock consists of single-family homes, multi-family homes, townhomes, and condos. The neighborhood boasts some of the most coveted addresses in all of San Francisco City, one of which is the historic district of Liberty Hill.

Victorian homes are prevalent, but architectural styles like Edwardian and Queen Anne can also be found here, along with modern masterpieces.

Most homes have two to four bedrooms and one to four bathrooms. Rear decks and private gardens are common features. Hillside homes, in particular, have stunning views of downtown San Francisco, Twin Peaks, Corona Heights, and the East Bay.

Luxury homes can have as many as five bedrooms. These often come with upscale features like roof decks, high end and designer finishes, private patios, and outdoor fire pits.

Residents enjoy an easy commute to the rest of the Bay Area, thanks to several Muni streetcar lines and the neighborhood’s proximity to the BART.
